Went by RAID Projects Gallery this afternoon, people were picking up artworks. The Summer artist in residence there told me she was not really supposed to be there, that she was supposed to be at a party, that she was waiting for Max Presneill (the founder and director of Raid) to come back and take her to a party, but he was an hour or so late and she was stuck monitoring the show’s takedown instead of swimming at a Summer Pool Party like Max had promised.

Let’s review this:
1. Max Presneill wasn’t doing the work.
2. The artist in residence was doing the work.
3. The artist in residence had been told to be ready and waiting at an appointed time at the gallery by Max.
4. Max had arranged for the artists to pick up their artworks from his gallery at the same time.

What do you suppose then that we can ALL assume about getting involved with Max Presneill .. .. ..
